A Creek County jury found Robert Wayne Lambert was not mentally retarded and could be returned to death row for the 1987 murders of 2 young Tulsans. Lambert, now 38, has been found guilty (togheter with co-defendant Scott Hain) twice in a series of trials to determine guilt and competency related to the deaths of Laura Lee Sanders and Michael Houghton. Hain was executed in April 2003. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ordered the mental retardation hearing for Lambert because of a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling stating that it is unconstitutional to execute mentally retarded people. The Creek County jury of seven women and five men was given instructions by District Judge Donald D. Thompson, who has presided over all of Lambert's trials. The trial lasted 12 days, and the verdict was unanimous.
